A Review of the Bond Mechanism and Bond Strength of Fiber Reinforced Polymer Rebars to Concrete by borkan alsabha

“…The bonding performance of FRP bars with concrete represents an extremely essential characteristic for assembling the FRP bars into corrosion-free reinforced concrete structures. FRP materials, contrary to steel reinforcements, possess non-homogeneous, anisotropic, and elastically linear features, thus resulting in a distinct force transfer mechanism between concrete and reinforcement. …”

Submersed Aquatic Vegetation Enhances Density and Diversity of Epifaunal Invertebrates Compared to Filamentous Mats in the Central Baltic Sea by Chiara D'Agata, Thomas A. B. Staveley, Johan S. Eklöf, Jonathan S. Lefcheck, Gunilla Rosenqvist, Lina Mtwana Nordlund

“…The aim of this study was to assess the effects of SAV and filamentous mats on epifaunal communities in shallow soft‐bottom habitats around Gotland, Sweden, in the central Baltic Sea. We used generalised linear models (GLMs) to evaluate the influence of SAV vertical structure, biomass and macrophyte species richness (including macroalgae) and filamentous mat biomass on epifaunal community properties as well as on those of key grazer species. …”
